H.R. No. 2041
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Railroad Bar-B-Que was the featured restaurant for
"Bar-B-Quesday" on May 10, 2011, and it is one of the outstanding
Central Texas businesses that have generously supported the popular
lunch event during the 82nd Legislative Session; and
WHEREAS, Hosted by State Representative Jason Isaac,
Bar-B-Quesday has served up tasty fare for an appreciative crowd at
the State Capitol on Tuesdays, and this highly anticipated
get-together has provided a showcase for some of the legendary
establishments in House District 45 specializing in that beloved
cuisine; and
WHEREAS, Owned by the Sherrill family, Railroad Bar-B-Que was
founded in 1982 in Manchaca, and a second location opened in Kyle
the following year, right next to the train line that gives the
business its name; serving up succulent ribs, brisket, sausage, and
turkey that are slow-cooked over mesquite, both restaurants have
become favorite destinations for barbecue lovers in the area; and
WHEREAS, While many distinctive foods are associated with the
Lone Star State, barbecue holds a special place in our culinary
heritage, and Railroad Bar-B-Que is indeed deserving of recognition
for helping to focus attention on the prominent role that Central
Texas has played in building and maintaining that proud tradition;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas
Legislature hereby commend Railroad Bar-B-Que for its
participation in Bar-B-Quesday and extend sincere best wishes to
the business for continued success; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for Railroad Bar-B-Que as an expression of high regard by
the Texas House of Representatives.
Isaac
